// LoadValuesFile reads the file at the given path and parses it as a "values
// file", which is an HCL config file whose top-level attributes are treated
// as arbitrary key.value pairs.
//
// If the file cannot be read -- for example, if it does not exist -- then
// a nil map will be returned along with error diagnostics. Callers may wish
// to disregard the returned diagnostics in this case and instead generate
// their own error message(s) with additional context.
//
// If the returned diagnostics has errors when a non-nil map is returned
// then the map may be incomplete but should be valid enough for careful
// static analysis.
//
// This method wraps LoadHCLFile, and so it inherits the syntax selection
// behaviors documented for that method.
